I almost hate the stupid bait at this point?

 

I was fishing with a dude last week that had two of the OG resin ones, he had all the baits under the sun, thousands and thousands in these baits.    The Phoney Shad was the best-looking bait out of everything to me.   The KGB Crappie was a piece of art as well.   

 

These baits are so fun to fish with, the beanie baby collectors ruin it for many folks though.   I missed the trick shad drop by like 3 mins.    Kind of glad now, I'm just gonna call that Phoney Frog dude up, and pre order exactly what I want.   If I'm paying $160 for a bait, better be the one that I already have some weird confidence built into.

It's a very happy day.  Lithium battery on the way.  And some swerve glide baits.  And some boxer craws.  And some booyah Spinnerbaits.  And a rat wakebait.  And some dredgers.  Oh the monkey is very pleased with me today.  ??????

The monkey was too strong in you, I caved this morning lol.  Hopefully I can cancel the one at TW.   They said they can get me a Gizzard by June 2nd, not sure when the TW one will ship so I pulled the trigger.

 

I better catch a DD on this stupid thing ?

Never seen a bait that was mass produced be this hard to get, every fish in America will know what a Chad Shad is in a year ?

 I just got my had shad from TW and couple more items.

[AlabamaSpothunter]

Was listening to BTL earlier with the guy in charge at SPRO and the owner of KGB swimbaits.    They've already sold and shipped 15,000 of the Chad Shads.   That's incredible lol.    

 

Somebody is going to be making a run at the Whopper Plopper in the "Found Lures" thread ?

 

 

[Fishingmickey]

Make that 15,001.

Darn you uncle frank !!! Seriously though,I’ve been killing it on spine craws this year.  That GB hayes has been on fire in gin clear Michigan lakes. 

I didn’t mean to order that many number 7’s I think they were left in from previous times I was on the fence about buying them. all this only came up to $50 with BTl code and free shipping.  So I saved around $12. Oh well everything considered they are not that expensive.  I’ll fish one, keep one in the package and maybe if I ever run into uncle franks get him to autograph one. 

 

Reloaded on Spine craws in GB hayes and GP blue flake.  New colors in pearl and cali 420. 

I think that NXS deep diver will be good on cloudy days in clear water.

Loomis superstore order from black friday.  I ordered 7, 12, and 18lb in clear, but I finally told them to just send me the 'invisible'.  Had to get a 6lb and 10lb also.  The 6lb samuri will be the thinnest line I've every used for bass fishing at .0083".

 

 

Bait-wrx order...

 

TW order...sad to see the inexpensive, yet effective bagley shakey heads go on clearance.

I watched a guy fish just this one bait last weekend and he killed it all day. The Bait Monkey ? made me do it.

They're stupid and I hate them until June 5 according to the tracking I check every 5 minutes ?

 

I actually tried to get in on the drop for the KGB TSGs this morning.....had myself and another person trying to score bait, they were gone within 20-30seconds.   $175 baits, and low IQ people like myself are dying to buy one lol.  It's stupidity, but I can't help it.  These big baits are a form of fishing like nothing else.   

 

KGB has a license to print money at this point.

Buying terminal tackle is akin to your favorite football team drafting an o-lineman in the 1st round. It's boring, and definitely not sexy. But it's very important and has to be done.

I did the same thing during the Black Friday sale last year, that I recall. I may keep my big restocks on this kinda half-year schedule

 

Yeah, not the most fun, but I’ll be happy having plenty of hooks 

Of note, I am trying the super line version of Gamakatsu round bend offset hooks

that's where mine is coming from.....amazingly I somehow ordered Threadfin instead of Gizzard.  It's beyond comical at this point.  I'll make it work, I'm going to boatflip a DD with this bait ?

Some ND180 brand new from Japan and some more rats plus a skinner ?

I was looking for it for awhile, till I got it last this week, Mine is different color, I still think it is not worth the money though but lets see if it catch me any fish this overnight fishing.

So a place called Dance's Sporting Goods in VA made a post in Swimbait Universe that they had all colors in stock......

Virginia has some truly awesome tackle shops but Dance's is definitely in contention to be the best. Those guys are absolutely in tune with the tackle trends. Awesome megabass selection too, some of which they are asking 22-25$ for limited run color baits which is rad. 

[NorthernBasser]

Those Burikin Swimmers are OILY! Was not expecting that. Been wanting the G.i for a while now. Couldn't pass up the 30% off at The Hookup Tackle. Also looking forward to finally trying out the Bongo, mainly as a swim jig trailer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love the back of the Teckel packaging. The devil tail on the guy.

I have the 2 and 3 piece. Didn't have the nads to get the 4. Then again, I'm not chasing the giants that you are!

I couldn't have a lower opinion than I do of those people, but I'm glad you like the place and have had good experiences there
